![]() ![]() In those old Paizo issues of Dragon Magazine, there are all sorts of lore tidbits about the Queen sprinkled throughout.Ī New Demon Prince: Also, I am very excited about the concept of the Queen trying to "build" a NEW demon lord to replace Miska. I think, if I go this route, I'm going to need to compile everything I can find on the Queen and then expand on it. The Queen of Chaos, as depicted in the boxed set I do think it's a very cool idea to end a level 20 campaign with a battle against the Queen of Chaos, who is an obyrith - the creator of Demogorgon! She's one of the oldest creatures known to exist! And her lair is already detailed in the Rod of Seven Parts boxed set. I usually like to use published stuff, but as of now it looks like season 3 will be about the Queen of Chaos coming after the group to get revenge for whatever happens with Miska the Wolf Spider. Planning for the Future: So I spent some time yesterday brainstorming what season 3 would look like. I am positive that somebody out there can run that adventure and make it awesome, but I don't think I can. I think I like the idea of running TOEE more than I enjoy actually preparing and running it. ![]() I'm not sure why I wanted to take another stab at it in 5e, but I am really glad I changed my mind on running it. I'd tried to do this in 4th edition, but I gave up after about 10 sessions because. My original plan for this campaign was to run the old 1e Temple of Elemental Evil adventure. Season one doesn't really have all that much to do anything. Season Two: The Rod of Seven Parts (Episodes 12-62, so far).Season One: The Battle of Emridy Meadows (Episodes 1-11).Our game has basically been broken up into "seasons": Right now, they're level 12 and they want to go all the way to level 20. Season 3: The group's discussions and plans got me thinking about the future of this campaign. Everything he does is dramatic and shadowy. He's been hanging out with the group, since the soul of his beloved Tatiana has merged with one of the heroes. This has led to quite a bit of roleplaying, and an excuse for me to play my favorite NPC - Strahd von Zarovich. This situation is an exception, as this is the penultimate battle and I want to make sure everything is crystal clear. The last two sessions we did were "planning sessions," which usually I avoid like the plague because they tend to bore players. I went through the encounters, traps, and trappings presented in the book and then realigned them/fleshed them out as a sort of gauntlet that the group will have to run. This is the final area! This should involve the last ditch effort of the spyder fiends to take back the rod and finally kill off the heroes. ![]() This duo comes out of nowhere and are one of the most detailed things in this whole chapter, yet I don't really see how they are useful. They are in there trying to buddy up with Miska. In the citadel is a succubus and her goristro (minotaur demon) bodyguard. The Superfluous Succubus: There is one thing that I chucked, though. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to happen in this place. I'm buying the adventure so I don't have to do that kind of work! There's some big maps and pieces of art, but the author only detailed a handful of sections and left the rest up to the DM. As written, the citadel of chaos is pretty sparse. I did my best to make the storyline clear, I built up the idea of Miska being a challenging foe (his blood can literally kill you if you touch it), and I have demonstrated that there are a lot of factions in the multiverse who want to use the assembled rod for various purposes.įor the last few sessions, I've been really trying to familiarize myself with this section of the boxed set, and modify it to suit my style. I feel like I've done a decent job of setting everything up. I can say that I do love the idea that he was created by the Queen of Chaos to be her ultimate dude (she created Demogorgon first, but wasn't thrilled with him, so she tried again). He's almost too goofy for me to use, as there is something about the two wolf heads sitting on his shoulders that just doesn't feel right to me. This is what Miska looks like in the boxed set In the citadel, both the 7th and final piece of the rod and the "big bad guy" of the boxed set, Miska the Wolf Spider, are waiting. The group right now is in the final section of the book - The Citadel of Chaos. I've been running the "Dungeon Academy" campaign for 2 years now, and we're reaching the end of the Rod of Seven Parts boxed set, which I converted to 5th edition. ![]()
